Should Shoaib Malik Be Included in the Squad for the England Series?

[Saj]

Malik is undoubtedly struggling for form and confidence at the moment.

Do you think he should be replaced from the test squad or the one day squad for the series against England?

Perhaps you think he should be removed from both or maybe even continue to include him both squads?

[James]

As an England fan, I believe that he should be picked in every squad. Made captain perhaps. He's earned it.

[Statsman]

This is going to be a very one sided poll.

I think, this is a huge conspiracy against BZ.

[adarsh_bang]

Saj... aint no question old boy.... Mr Mirza has to go

[Geordie Ahmed]

He is rubbish, should not be in any squads. Let's give someone like Afaq Raheem a chance, the lad has more than earned his chance

But why not drop him from the odi and t20 formats?? his bowling is horrible, batting is bad as it is, fielding isnt bad but that isn't reason enough. And in any case , shouldnt a team be picked on the basis of form?(current) I am convinced there are batsman with better form(atleast slightly) in all formats, available for national duty at the moment

[IAJ]

He is compeletely out of form. He should have been sent back to Pakistan to play QA-trophy after the ODIs against Bangladesh.

I don't think he will play the second Test either so he is just wasting his time in Bangladesh. Had he played a couple of good knocks in domesic that would have helped his confidience.

In conclusion, on current form he shouldn't be picked against England.

[pakcricketfan]

Remove him from all the squads.

[godzilla]

who are the possible replacements? thats what it depends on.

Not really. Any one with a pulse wouldn't do much worse.

False.

A wooden block shaped like your average batsmen in forward defence is more likely to not get out then Malik.

[Markhor]

No, but his political backers will make his exclusion from the squad unlikely.

Yes, the GUY.

[hazen_batti]

Even BD wouldn't include him in their squad atm.

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Even after this extreme reaction from fans and media if he gets selected then...... :facepalm

[786warrior]

He should never be a selected again - this virus needs to be eradicated - TOTAL FAILURE

[attock]

He should not get selected for any format

[AZ]

absolutely not.

[akheR]

Democratically discarded.

[AZ]

^ Democracy is the best revenge.

Whippy the cheeky bugger

[TheHK16]

if only pcb looked at this poll

[Blitz]

Shouldn't it be remove him from all three squads?


Because if ODI and T20 is the same, then why wasn't Younus in the T20 squad

[pakcricketfan]

Originally Posted by Blitz Shouldn't it be remove him from all three squads? Because if ODI and T20 is the same, then why wasn't Younus in the T20 squad

Which squad?

Which series are you talking about?

[TheHK16]

can we have one for imran farhat too please?

[Amjid Javed]

Should be dumped from the Pakistan team forever and never picked again!

[srh]

Dropping him from test squad is a no-brainer.
I will support dropping him from ODIs as well if Pak drop YK too from ODIs.

[Bullet Drive]

No he shouldn't and then he should be dropped forever and never comes back even if he averages 50+ in domestic cricket. Domestic cricket in Pakistan is really nothing. Malik averaged around 80 in the QA tournament and when he played international cricket against Bang,SL & Zimb he was horribily out of form.

[saeed-sohail]

YK averages 7 times more then Malik since his comeback despite playing tougher opposition. I don't know why ppl post rubbish without doing some homework. Malik averages 6.32 over 12 games since his comeback.

[W63L35]

Malik has such a great history of being "loved" in all these PP poll!!

still YK is a crap ODI player who sucks against even decent opposition. Kick him out of the ODI team now alongwith Malik!

I have not seen him for a while. Must be busy writing that apology.

[sunnykhan]

Plenty of deserving youngsters waiting for their call. Drop him ASAP!

[siccric]

I wouldn't mind if he was kept in the ODI squad, but for heavens sake, he should be as far away as possible from the Test squad.

[Prince_Pathan]

remove from test only

hes a good spinner above anything and feel he can trouble the english batsman and contain them


being honest though he needs to go in general as a batsman from test squad...


i cant believe i just posted that

[VTEC]

Although Younus Khan has no place in the ODI team he is still a far FAR better Batsman in the 50 Over game than Malik

[KingKhanWC]

Mr Malik still has the potential to be a good ODI/T20 performer. His bowling and fielding has been good. May not get a starting place in the ODI v England but should be in the squad.

[saeed-sohail]

YK doesn't deserve a place in ODI side agreed but saying Malik and him are a similar case based on recent performance is rubbish.

Malik needs to go regardless of YK being in or out.

[Lara400]

He needs to get back to domestic and get runs under his belt. Once he snaps out of the sania land he might just regain his focus as I feel he can do justice to the number 3 slot in ODIs.

Pakistan will lose if we drop malik

So we don't win without Malik??

You want me to show you the matches where Pakistan won WITHOUT Malik ....since his debut? I'll let you do it, you know how to use Statsguru!

LOL...............looks like BZ bhai's stat research lead him to studying ancient Roman history, he had to go that far back to find something good about Malik.

[saeed-sohail]

Udhar huzoor aatey hi nahi kya karoon,

[asnl59]

they shouldn't have bought him straight back into the team, they should have given him some first class games first to find some game. After being out for so long what do you expect his form is going to be like?

[Fawad2010]

Please send these poll results to PCB. Thanks

[ali85]

pick me instead - even I can make 30+ runs in a match if PCB gives me so many chances.

[pakistanbest]

I would gamble and give malik another chance, don't ask me why though

Just got a feeling he will average 40+ with the bat in the ODI series

[Inswinger]

Whippy wants to keep him. Always knew he had it against Pakistani cricket....

[bforme]

A big big big and loud noooooooo!!!!!!!!!
He should be nowhere near the team now.

[IMMY69]

I like how some people think Malik should have played more firstclass to get his confidence back before coming back into the side....

Have these people even checked his friggin firstclass stats?

[McBoom]

Remove him from the country!

[Riff]

I chose the option keep him in the ODI and T20 squad, but remove him from the Test squad.

[W63L35]

Very good choice.... we badly need a good tailender who can sometimes score in double digits. After all he did that 3 times in last 10 innings..... I don't think Junaid Khan, Ajmal, Umar Gul or Cheema would have done that.

[Blitz]

To compare Malik to those batsmen is unfair to them.

Come on, show our tail enders some respect please!

Average in last 10 ODI innings:


Ajmal: 11.25
Cheema: 9.00
Gul: 7.14




Cheema hasn't had 10 innings btw.

I guess..... I owe an apology to Ajmal, Cheema and Gul ........

Sorry..... guys.

[Gabbar Singh]

I feel sorry for the guy. His first marriage to the Maha Apa beast has obviously scarred him. Give the poor bloke one more chance!

[chui_kadoo]

He should never be selected for any format for the foreseable future

[chui_kadoo]

I wish we could know who the 10 individuals are that voted in favour of Malik being selected in all squads.

I am guessing that they must be either english or Indian supporters

[Prince_Pathan]

^^ those stats
